ENDLESS PUNISHMENT IMPOSSIBLE.

The following is the first objection
to the doctrine of endless punishment,
by the Rev. John Hughes, in the discus
sion at Burlington, KY, to which Ed.
Howe could not be brought to make any
reply whatever:
Endless punishment is impossible
either in physical or moral sense,
without an eternal miracle of wrath
and cruelty. Pain, in a physical sense,
means waste to a mortal body, and
finally ends in death. An immortal,
incorruptible body is not subject to
material fires, nor to corporal misery.
To suffer pain the body must be mortal,
and it will die, unless kept alive by an
eternal miracle. This is too mon
strous to be thought Of.
Besides, we doubt whether our friend
opposite believes in literal lake of
fire and birthstone. He holds, we pre-
sumo, to endless misery of moral
kind. But that too is impossible. Emo
tions of the mind cannot be endlessly
continued without an eternally exciting
cause. Win God supply that cause ?
Or place in circumstances which will
produce it? and so again work an eter-
nal miracle of vengeance? Is this con-
sistent with the character of the Faith
or whose tender mercies are over all
his works
But that conscience may continue to
sting, the moral nature must continue
to live. There must be sense Of the
iniquity of sin, and sense Of the
worth of goodness. And so long as
this is true, there will be a warfare of
the better nature against evil, and re-
formation is possible; and goodness,

BUcHrEL COLLEGE DOCUMENTS.

DR. Cones Suggestion to the Trustees in Re-
gard to New Building-AgentS tearn's Re-
port.
Below is given that part of President
Cones report to the trustees OF Buchtel
College relating to the proposed gymnas-
ium and new college building.
"Last fall according to action by the
Executive Committee subscription was
opened for gymnasium to cost about
$4,000. About $1,000 has already been
subscribed, although no work has been
done in this direction for several months,
except to record voluntary subscrip-
ton OF 800 offered by physician in this
city. Several citizens have responded
literally and have little doubt that the
desired amount can be secured during
the summer. l hope for your approval
of the enterprise and believe that gym
nasium will be very helpful to the college
in attracting students as well as in Civ
ing the much needed physical training.
"The continuing and promising devel-
opment of the college, and the additions
present and prospective to its endowment,
press upon our attention the need to
which have referred in former reports
to your honorable body, OF college
building to be devoted to the purposes of
the college department, releasing the
present building to the use of the prepar-
atory school, boarding hall, domitories,
etc. A building suitable to the demands
Of the college should contain commodi-
GUS chapel or assembly room on the first
floor, offices, library and reading room
and eight or ten recitation rooms with
private rooms adjoining each for the use
OF the professor. Rooms for a museum
of natural history and geological collec-
lection should also be provided. The
chemical and physical laboratories would
be best provided for by erecting a small
building expressly for their use. The total
expense of such accommodations for the
use OF the college, including laboratory
would be from $4,000 to 100000. The
grounds at present owned by the college
are ample for the accommodation of these
buildings. l would earnestly urge upon
the attention OF the Board and friends of
the college at large the importance of this
enterprise which is now necessary to put
the college on footing of equality as to
its appointments With the best colleges
in the West. The plea for such an act OF
beneicence as the erection of these build
ings by some friend of our cause, comes
now with especial force in consideration
of the lamentable fact that our great
benefactor has been Frustrated by his
labors and anxiety for the college. There
could be no more appropriate and touch
ing testimonial of appreciation Of his
splendid generosity and sacrifice than
gift which would give the college a new
impetus and gladden. his declining years"

be one of great usefulness, standing as
he does, as representative of the pro-
test against the Roman church inter-
fering in any way in political matters.
The sympathy of millions would be
with him in his extremity under these
circumstances; and he would not be
without commanding following in
his own communion. DIR. McGlynn's
future is now, to say the least, prob
lematical.
The decree of accommodation" in
the nineteenth century, and under the
reign of Archbishop Corrigan in New
York. is not by any means as terrible
in form as it was in the medi@val ages,
when the church held undisputed sway,
and kings and princes, as well as of.
Tending priests, and laymen, fell under
its maledictions. The mildly drawn
notification Of Archbishop Corrigan
contrasts favorably with the pope's bull
of accommodation major, which sin
the name and by the authority Of God
Almighty, the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost, and the undefiled Virgin Mary,
mother and patroness of our Saviour,
and Of all celestial virtues, angels,
archangels, thrones, dominions, powers,
cherubim, seraphim, and of all the holy
patriarchs, prophets and Of all the apos-
ties and evangelists"- sent forth
to damn recalcitrant Catholics. We give
few extracts from this form of the
middle ages, as an example Of the
old way of treating communicated
persons. After invoking the aid
of all saints and holy innocents, the
bull of accommodation proceeds:
May the holy choir of the holy vir-
gins, who for the honor of Christ have
despised the things of this world, damn
him May all saints from the begin
ming of the world to everlasting ages,
who are found to be beloved of God,
damn him!
May he be damned wherever he be,
whether in the house or in the alley, in
the woods or in the water, or in the
church May he be cursed in living
and dying!
May he be cursed in eating and drink
ing, in being hungry, in being thirsty,
in fasting, in sleeping, in slumbering,
and in sitting, in living, in working, in
resting, and, and in blood letting
May he be cursed in all the faculties
of his bodyl
May he be cursed inwardly and out
wardly May he be cursed in his hair;
cursed be he in his brains and in his
vertex, in his temples, in his eyebrows
in his cheeks, in his jaw bones, in his
nostrils, in his teeth and grinders, in
his lips, in his shoulders, in his arms, in
his fingers
May he be damned in his mouth, in
his breast, in his heart and purtenances
down to the very stomach
May he be cursed in all his joints, and
articulation of the members from the
crown of his head to the soles of his
feet may there be no soundness
May the Son of the living God, with
all the glory of his majesty, curse him
and may heaven, with all the powers
that move therein, rise up against him
and curse and damn him, unless he re
pent and make satisfaction. Amen
So be it, Be it SO. Amen

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT recently
expressed desire to see the sale of in
toxicating liquors prohibited within an
eighth of mile of any railway station.
This, of course, remarks an exchange,
with view to the interests of the rail-
road companies, who wish temptation
removed as far as possible from their
employees. But if any one will call to
mind the character of the neighborhood
about many railway stations, he will
second Vanderbilt's wish for the sake
of the travelling public.

Mr.. PowDERLY, Of the Knights Of
Labor, presents strong front on the
temperance question, and is doing
splendid service for that organization,
by tongue and pen. In recent article
in the organ of the Knights, he REIN
forces his recent speeches in Boston
and Lynn, and says most magni6cently:
81 know that in refusing to even touch
a drop Of strong drink l was and am
right. In refusing to treat another, to
that which do not believe to be good
for myself to drink l know 1 am right.
In refusing to associate with men who
get drunk, know am right. In not
allowing a rum-seller to gain admit
lance into the order of the knights of
Labor, 1 know am right. In advising
our assemblies not to rent halls or meet
ing rooms over drinking places, l know
1 am right. 1 have done this from the
day my voice was first heard in the
council halls of our order. My position
on the question of temperance is right.
/ am determined to maintain and will
not alter it one jot or little. If 1 am
right, why should 1 alter my course ?"
Sure enough, Mr.. Powderly. Maintain
and defend this ground, and you will
have the sympathy of all true and good
citizens, and do the workmen of this
country incalculable good.

WE learn that at recent meeting of
the Executive Committee of Buchtel
College, held since Commencement,
George W. Grouse and Ferd. Schumacher,
of Akron, agreed to make canvass to
provide funds to build the new gym
nasium. If these two gentlemen can't
accomplish that job, it will be hard to
find the men in Summit county who
can do it. We again record the opin-
ion that the new gymnasium is sure
to come and speedily. This commit
tee makes it fixed fact.

The so called ministerial dead line"
gets terrible setting back in Rev. Mr..
Dinsmore's article this week. 1t is our
observation that this dead line runs
only along the pathway of those minis
tiers who were born tired and grow old
in advance of their years. Activity
and usefulness in the ministry is not a
matter of years, but of spirit. We are
made glad in reporting the work of Br.
Todd, at Lodi. Let us have more of
such encouraging reports. Editors and
the churches thrive on such summer
diet.

THE school teacher is positively
abroad in Chicago the present week,

pleasure combined. Twenty-Five car
loads of teachers arrived on Wednesday
from Boston alone. The attendance is
large from all portions of the country.
Chicago greets the teachers most cor

Interesting to Champagne Drinkers. .

st. Louis Republican: Champagne
is not stored in the London dock vaults
but on the upper floor of the dock
warehouses. The Russians, who used
to rival the United States in champagne
drinking, ae fast giving up that wine
and betaking themselves TO port.
There was not more than half mill
ion bottles of champagne taken in Rus
STA last year. The English cannot I'M
derstand the taste of Americans for
new champagne. The impression APP
pears to prevail in the United States
that champagne deteriorates after it is
three or four years old, and it is said
this impression, for reasons of their
own, has been fostered by the trade in
that country. The English and French
laugh at this. They do not touch
champagne until it is at least seven or
eight years old, and large dealer who
was looking at some of his stock in the
warehouse said he had champagne of
the vintage of 1868, which was much
sought after. !,

1t is thought very unlucky not to
weigh the baby before it is dressed.
When first dressing the clothes should
not be put over the head but drawn on
oyer the feet for luck.
When first taken from the room in
which it was born, it must be carried
upstairs before going down, SO it will
rise in the world. In any case, il must
be carried upstairs or up the street,
not down stairs or down the street, the
first time it is taken out.
It is also considered in England and
Scotland unlucky to cut the basy's

Pignies Living in the Heart of Africa.

Ronzo de Leo, who travelled many
years in Africa with DIR. Living stone,
was one who almost stood out alone
in the assertion that a race of dwarfs
lived in Central Africa. In his lee
lures in America he told of a little peo-
pie who fled to the clefts of the rocks
when the explorers approached. G.

years with Stanley, and who is now in

these dwagfs. sOn the southern
branches of the Congo" said he to an
Examiner reporter, 81 have seen
whole villages of these Lilliputians.
They are generous little people, who
live in rude kuts and clear ground, en-
gaging in varied sorts of agriculture.
They are also skilled hunters, and they
make palm wine. They are as 1.-the
and supple in climbing trees as mon
keys or balloons, although they are
physically as perfect men as any of the
giant tribes thereabout, and they know
as much. The men are not over four
feet and a half, while the women are a
good deal smaller. These tiny men
are both brave and cunning. They
are experts with the bow and arrow,
and readily bring down the African
bison, antelope and even elephants
with them. AS trappers Of small ami
